Request for Broposal Update: Community

Berachain did not start as a whitepaper or a technical roadmap. It started as a meme. A collection of bear JPEGs shared among friends grew into a passionate community that believed in something bigger: a blockchain with a bear on it.

The Request for Broposal: Community (RFC) program was created in the spirit of this organic, community-driven growth. It provides BERA token allocations to social, educational, and community-focused groups or individuals who have made meaningful contributions to the Berachain ecosystem. RFC aims to support those who create educational resources, nurture social engagement, and help expand awareness of Berachain’s core mission: building an application-first, Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) powered blockchain where users, builders, and validators thrive together.

The term “builder” usually refers to technology or product, but the builders who cultivate human connection, culture, and knowledge are equally important. The RFC program represents Berachain’s commitment to supporting these contributors—builders shaping communities—who strengthen the ecosystem through education, engagement, and shared growth.

Eligibility & Allocation Criteria Recap:

RFC submissions were open to any social, educational, or community-focused group that has:

  • Demonstrated meaningful contributions to the Berachain ecosystem to date, such as hosting events, creating educational content, or supporting social growth.
  • Outlined a clear plan for ongoing contributions to foster long-term education, community building, and positive engagement around Berachain itself (not ecosystem projects).

NFT Projects that have already minted collections were removed from the RFC allocation, and will be handled separately.

Exact allocations will be available upon launch. For more information see: Request for Community (RFC).

After careful review, we’re proud to announce the protocols approved for RFC allocations, each chosen for their strategic alignment with Berachain’s long-term community goals:

Note: Updates made to Final RFC selection due to missed NFT collections that will be handled separately. Thank you to Lasalien for flagging.
